Is "none" singular or plural on the SAT?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>if it is singular, is it still singular in this phrase? “none of the cars”
any dictionary will state that it can be either singular or plural. however, sat practice exams seem to regard it as singular always.</p>

2

<p>It’s singular.</p>

3

<p>None of the documents (is/are) identified in the brief.
Think: Not one of the documents is identified in the brief. (singular subject/singular verb)</p>

<p>usually singular on SAT, technically both and defined as both</p>

4

<p>none is always singular
as is either and neither</p>

<p>“neither of them is going to the party” is correct, “none of the teachers is friendly” is also correct.</p>

5

<p>It works as the opposite of “all” and follows the same grammar rules. All of the food is gone. None of the food is gone. All of the eggs are gone. None of the eggs are gone. That’s also what I’ve always been taught in school, and it’s what the grammar books say. I’m not actually even sure where one would get the idea that it’s singular.</p>

<p>I don’t know what all these people saying it’s always singular are talking about.</p>

<p>Here are some pages about it:

<a href=“Dictionary.com | Meanings & Definitions of English Words”>Dictionary.com | Meanings & Definitions of English Words;

<p>The first two are long explanations, the third one quotes a grammar book, and the last one is dictionary.com’s explanation. I’ve yet to even find someone other than the posters here claim that it is always singular.</p>

<p>None of the people saying that it’s always singular <em>are</em> correct.</p>
